A 9-month-old baby sweating during sleep may be due to either physiological or pathological reasons.
1. Physiological causes: Excessive room temperature or overdressing the baby can raise body temperature, leading to night sweats. Providing a comfortable environment and reducing clothing or bedding can help.
2. Pathological causes: Deficiency of certain nutrients, such as calcium or vitamin D, may cause overactivity of the baby's sympathetic nervous system, resulting in excessive sweating during sleep. Dietary adjustments can include more calcium-rich foods like milk, soybeans, and cheese. Supplements such as vitamin D drops or calcium gluconate oral solution may also be used.
